Creates a token from card or check details, with no transaction attached.

POST /api/tokens/create-standalone-async deprecated

No permission required.

The details are validated and stored encrypted, and the response carries the token identifiers, numeric and card-format, alongside a masked echo of what was stored. Use this to store a payment method before charging it; to store one while charging it, ask for tokenization on the transaction instead.

Signed in, you can send this request to your own sandbox merchant from the console and read the answer. Sign in to try it.

Example request

Every block below sends the same request. Replace {{BASE_URL}} with the address of the API you are calling and {{API_KEY}} with your own key.

The request body is a CreateStandaloneTokenRequestDto. See the Request body section below for its fields.

Parameters

Name	In	Type	Description
`suppressNulls` required	query	boolean	If true, omit properties with null values.

Request body

application/json , required

Field	Type	Description
`merchantId` required	string (uuid)
`customerId` required	string (uuid)	nullable
`paymentDetails` required	all of PaymentDetailSnapshot	Conditional: When PaymentDetails is not null.
`type` required	TokenType	Defines the supported token types used in transaction-related models. Also aliased as the platform's payment-method category (`InitializeContext` imports it as `PaymentMethodCategory`), which is what the processor-profile pre-filter narrows on. one of: Card, Check, Cash, DigitalWallet, AlternativePayment
`category` required	TokenCategory	Defines the category of a token used in transaction processing. one of: Internal, Network, Wallet
`idempotencyKey` required	string	Optional caller-supplied key that makes this create safe to retry. Send the same key with the same payment details and the gateway returns the token it already minted instead of minting a second one, so a timeout or a network retry during a bulk import cannot leave you with two vault records for one card. Conditional: When IdempotencyKey is not empty. nullable
